words or by conduct, has intimated that he consents to an act which has been done, and that he will offer no opposition to it, although it could have been lawfully done without his consent, and he thereby induces others to do that from which they otherwise might have abstained, he cannot question the legality of the act he had so sanctioned to the prejudice of those who have so given faith to his words, or to the fair inference to be drawn from his conduct. (Sec. 1546.) It is equally true that if a party has an interest to prevent an act being done, and acquiesces in it, so as to induce a reasonable belief that he consents to it, and the position of others is altered by their giving credit to his sincerity, he has no more right to challenge the act to their prejudice than he would have had if it been done by his previous license. And here we must bring this abridgment of equity jurisprudence to a close. But, to use the language of Mr. Justice Story, let not the ingenuous youth imagine that he also may here close his own preparatory studies of equity jurisprudence, or content himself, for the ordinary purposes of practice, with the general survey which has thus been presented to his view. What has been here offered to his attention is designed only to open the paths for his future inquiries; to stimulate his diligence to wider and deeper and more comprehensive examinations; to awaken his ambition to the pursuit of the loftiest objects of his profession, and to impress him with a profound sense of the ample instruction and glorious rewards which await his future enterprise and patient devotion in the study of the first of human sciences—THE LAW. 1.
